Search warrant reveals new details in the child pornography arrest of a Raleigh man

A lengthy search warrant made public this week at the Wake County Justice Center is chilling. It reveals that the case was brought to the attention of investigators by Google, which claims it found child porn in the Gmail account of a Raleigh man.

"There's a statutory responsibility for any internet service provider that suspects images of child pornography being downloaded. They did exactly what they were supposed to do by notifying the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children who then farms them out to the local jurisdictions," said Melanie Shekita the prosecutor handling the case.

Thirty-one-year-old Blaine Dorsey was living in a Brier Creek apartment when Raleigh police arrested him two weeks ago. Since then, he's been living at the Wake County Detention Center, apparently unable to come up with his $600,000 bond.

The search warrant for his apartment claims Dorsey not only downloaded child pornography but was communicating online with a Kansas man who is said to be an avowed Satanist, meth user, and HIV positive.

Investigators in Kansas say that man has had online discussions about drugging, kidnapping, torturing, and molesting young boys - and has even talked about killing. The search warrant also claims that man indicated there were potential victims in North Carolina.

Shekita, the prosecutor, said investigators are digging deep into that possible connection.

"He was communicating online with someone who is offering to do things that are completely inappropriate and completely criminal," she said. "And so they are going to follow down all of those leads until they can satisfy themselves that there aren't any other children that are being abused and to follow up on who this person is."

Shekita said Dorsey could face more charges depending on what police find on the long list of digital media taken from his apartment.

The search warrant says Dorsey was working at a children's clothing store when he was arrested and had worked at another store prior to his current job. It doesn't give the name of either store.
